Such a beautiful bird. We looked but to no avail. It would have been a Lifer for us.
I spent a few hours waiting and waiting to get any kind of a shot. I was extremely happy to get this partial shot of the bird.
You are patient man – a skill I should learn. But obviously it works because of the shots you get.
